"I'm not at all superstitious but I'm kinda interested in where they originate from."
Living in a fishing village the fishermen have lots of superstitions, one example for instance, not mentioning pigs or ever giving them anything with a pig picture on or an ornament or suchlike.
I assume it's because way back in the mists of time they may have seen the pig, or the flesh of the pig as robbing them of their living i.e fish. |

"Superstition is the religion of the feebleminded  "
I couldn't agree more......and yet I would never intentionally walk under a ladder and find myself saluting magpies! |

I read that wrong! I thought you said you'd never wank under a ladder! Haha
You probably wouldn't do that either tho
Maybe it's showing where my head's at today! Haha |

" I wont cut my nails on friday or sunday since my poodle died,
Can I ask why? and what superstition is attached to it?"
My mum used to say bad luck to cut your nails on sunday and i read in a book when i was a kid that you shouldnt cut them on friday. When my poodle died i partly believe its because i cut my nails on the wrong days. |
